Your Halo Wars questions answered

Ensemble Studios, developers of the Age of Empires strategy series, is now preparing to close its doors for the last time after completing work on the upcoming Halo Wars.

Veteran games designer Bruce Shelley penned his final blog post last week, saying that boxes are "piled in the hallways" and "our corporate IDs are being turned in".

Fortunately, Shelley believes at least two new studios will rise from Ensemble's ashes, and the staff are proud of the work they have done on their final game for Microsoft.

Screen Play has been granted an interview with Jason Pace, Lead Producer on Halo Wars at Microsoft Games Studios on the eve of the game's release, so if you have any burning questions on the upcoming strategy game, let me know in the comments section below.

A behind-the-scenes video on the making of Halo Wars has just been released on Xbox Live, and can also be viewed here.
